DENMARK investigates the preservation of environmental DNA (eDNA) in sediments to improve detection methods for past and present organisms. By studying the interactions between DNA and minerals, the project aims to enhance eDNA extraction protocols and assess the conditions that favor DNA longevity.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is trace amounts of DNA released by organisms into water and sediments.
It has recently attracted a lot of attention as it can be a valuable tool for detecting present and past organisms without the need to directly sample them.
However, biotic and abiotic decay has severe effects on DNA survival.
The adsorption of DNA to mineral surfaces in sediments as well as saline conditions have been shown to protect DNA molecules and decrease the DNA decay rate.
